Just beautiful as usual. I really like the idea of the loops instead of making buttonholes in a pattern. I made this pattern a few years ago with the buttonholes and was not all that pleased with how they turned out. I will definitely keep this one in mind again as I love the herringbone pattern. Thanks for the great idea.

I was thinking the same thing. But it would be very difficult to work out the shaping "in pattern", the increases and decreases that occur for waistline, armholes and neckline shaping. Just the thought of it gives me a headache!
